What bath resealing costs

There’s no charge for travel to Began. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material

Most customers in Began get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Bath resealing at your home in Began

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about silicone coming away from the tiles and gaps by the taps.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Began as everywhere else we work.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Air the room after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Questions from Began

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Began and the rest of Cardiff. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Began?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Choosing a repair company

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow about two hours for a bath. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Related advice

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A flexing bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Baths
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
